the majesty of the law, andln preserving
the peace and good order of their res-
pective ballwicks, speaks volunles for
the policy so often advocated by the rw-
eyraph. of selecting for sheritts only snch
men as are honest euougii to appreciate
tlio responsibilities of the ofllee, and
hrave enough to iierform the duties it
Imposes upon them. After all, the peo-
ple alone arc responsible for the charac-
ter of the officials they place In power,
and if they select incapable men for high
and responsible positions, the violations
of law and outrages against life and
property which follow are the legitímate
and just penalties which any such people
may expect to pay for their own derelic-
tion of duty. Select only the best men
for sheriffs, and let the people give them
proper moral and physical support, and
violence and disorder will, ecase in the
land, and the senseless and absurd calls
on the Governor for help will no longer
be heard.—Houston Telegraph.
. With the Telegraph wc believe "dis-
order can be suppressed in Texas."
However, much as we dislike to differ
with our cotemporary, we entirely
dissent from the statement that it can
be done "as well" in this State—if
by that term "easily'' is intended—
"as in other States." The experi-
ence of the last two years admonishes
us that there exists in Texas a con-
dition of affairs entirely anomalous,
and .much beyond the reach of the or-
dinary means retted upon for the
preservation of good order. We rec-
ognize the full force of this admission
and regret a deliberate survey of the
continuaally occurring scenes of
turbulance and crime bears out
the statement fully. This then,
iu the opinion of the AnrvoeaTB is the
problem to be solved by these charged
with the execution of the laws bear-
ing upon the question. We hold it
to be true that conditions unfavor-
able to the suppression of crime have
been permitted to assume gigantic
proportions in many localities of the
State, one of which is the prevailing
incorrect mode of thought which
loses sight of a violated law in the
desire to screen the criminal from a
deserved penalty. Hie Telegraph
asks that a better class of sheriffs
be selected in order the law may
be more snccessftilly enforced. The
Advocatx, speaking for this imme-
diate vicinity, replies that the sheriffs
of this section, with scarcely an ex-
ception, are energetic and faithflil,
and although placed at a.fearftil dis-
advantage by reason of their circum
scribed powers, are seldom short of
their entire duty in their war against
disorder.
The time has arrived when a calm
and dispassionate judgment should
be brought to bear on this question, as
perhaps more directly and incontro-
vertably within the legitimate sphere
of self-government than any other.
If the vetoed sheriff's bill contained
features believed to be without prece-
dent in our system, the accounts of
bloodshed as daily recked by the
press in every quarter of the State,
also surpasses anything before known
in our history. With this view, the
Advocate knows of no remedy so
Bure as the granting, u nder proper re-
strictions, of authority to sheriffs
sufficient to enable them to thor-
oughly andjsafrly execute the law.
The measure of their power, should
be the magnitude of the obstacles
which are fonnd to exist in the dis-
of their duties, in order to
quickly and certainly correct
the existing conditions unfkvornble
to visiting a swift and sure pun-
ishment on those who violate the sanc-
tity of salutary taw.

RETRENCHMENT THROUGH RE-
UNION.
The secret of reduction of our na-
tional burdens must be found in
ta study of the origin of them. -They
originated not in foreign war or ex-
penditures for public works in peace,
hut in sectional discord resulting in
civil strife, and growing out of a spir-
it of disunion. The remedy is to be
sought in a thorough reunion of alt
sections, so that while local rights and
privilige8 are carefully preserved and
jealously guarded, there will in local-
ities be no distictive interest of class,
or race, and all localities will, as mat-
ters of pride and interest, unite in
common respect to the Fedéral au-
thority, which, in turn, will, within
its constitutional scope, promote and
respect the interests and rights of all.
This would insure the practical en-
forcement of the true theory of our
Constitution, opposed alike to undue
centralization and to secesión, and
regarding always the true source of
power, under God, the people, Who,
acting through well defined methods,
constitute authority and define the
limits of its exercise. Such reunion
once secured, retrenchment is easy,
not merely because the expenses
growing out of civil war, or the ap-
prehension of it, at once disappear,
but also because, the universal reor-
ganization of assured moral as well as
physical harmony on the part of the
whole world would save iu so much
to foreigners, and gain for us so much
in increased confidence, activity, and*
prosperity of our people, as to make
the weight of our national burdens
rapidly decrease, and speedily disap-
pear as considerable obstacles to in-
dividual prosperity. Reunion, hearty
and final, once restored and secured,
Will giye us reduced taxation and gen-
eral prosperity. There Is no Other
road to either than through such re-
union. - J

The above self-satislled remark, It
will be noticed, comes from the capi-
tal of the State, located in 11 city of
tlltccn thousand inhabitants, who have
lately expended nearly one hundred
thousand dollars in the erection of a
county jail. Travis county may have
"good officers," as the Statesman
avers; but for all that the ratio of
crime in that county, us gathered
from the pages or our cotemporary,
seems to equal tluit ot any other sec-
tion of the State, not even excepting
communities iu the outrageous, law
defying "West." The Advocate
broadly states the truth to bo that
the sheriffs of West Texas, as a class,
lire necessarily more active aud vigi-
lant, take more risks and are forced
to strain their limited^ powers oftcnei
than iu the locality- held up to us as an
example. Whore are to be found In
Eastern Texas parallel cases to the
late killing of the Caldwell county
officer while .in the discharge of his
duty, the murder of an ex-sheriff in
Bee county for the avowed reaion of
his efficiency while an officer, or the
assassination of the former sheriff of
Wharton under circumstances believ-
ed to have connection with his acts
as an official ? Where in the West do
we hear of such horrors as the Milam
county burning; in what locality of
trans-Colorado Texas do we repeat
the brutalities of the convict camps
in the East, and finally, where in this
section is it true that two or three
men, in broad daylight, can success-
fully plunder a bank located in a city
of nearly twenty thousand inhabitants,
having, as an auxiliary to the ordin-
ary means of defense, a well organ-
ized and paid police force? We re-
peat it, with no exceptions whatever,
the efficiency of sheriffs in West
Texas equals at least that of other
sections, and the Statesman will have
to seek other grounds of complaint
against our people to successfully in-
culcate the doctrine that those living
West of the Colorado are criminals
by birth and education.
Texas, we believe, enjoys the dis-
tinction of raising what camels it
needs, besides occasionally having a
few to spare. CoL Coopwood, near
Austin, is engaged in propagating
this kind of stock, and a few jdays
ago he shipped a couple to the St.
LouiS Fair. / The Statesman say
Col. CoopWood's are said tobe the
hardiest and largest single hump
camels in the world. They propa-
gate, -thrive and fatten at Elgin,
twenty miles east of Austin. Col.
C. talks of raising llamas and Shet-
land ponies, and believes the Texas
climate, shrubs and grasses, for Ori-
ental stock, the very best and finest
in the world.
The city council of Indtanola met

to give our readers an intelligent
idea of what is going on, wo present
extracts from articles in other publi-
cations. Says Griffith's Chicago
Live Stock Reporter:
' 'Our shipments at present arc con-
fined to Great Britian, but move-
ments are being made on the conti-
nent of Europe to establish large cat-
tle markets, in which an ocean trade
will be mainly cultivated. We have
this week received a communication
applying for information as to our
mode of doing business, from Mar-
seilles, where it is intended to estab-
lish yards similar to our own, from
which to supply Frahce, Germany
and other countries with cattle from
northern Africa and the distant prai-
ries of America."
The New York Tribune live stock
review for the last week in August
remarks as follows:
"The 10,000 of the past week is
about 1000 in excess of the previous
week's supply, while the offerings to-
day are just about that mueh larger
than they were last Monday. We
have had the largest foreign ship-
ments, the numbers, dead and alive,
reaching 670 head—all large fat cat-
tle. This foreign trade amounts to
more than is generally credited to it.
Mr. Eastmen alone, since he com-
menced to ship last October, has sent
abroad between 8000 and 9000 cat-
tle. Ho already has 17 steamers
fitted with patent refrigerators capa-
ble of holding about 150 carcasses
each, and is increasing the number,
while Samuels Bros: are sending
live stock freely, and Sherman ana
Gillett are fitting up steamers as rap-
idly as possible, in order to increase
their shipments. Western feeders
should note these increased ship-
ments, for with spch an outlet here
our markets will not glut so easily.
The Lcadoit dictator alludes to
tlie high prices of beef from home
raised cattle, attributing it to the
"ftistidiousness of the English taste ,"
as exhibited by well-to-do beef-eat-
ers.. It alsosayB: The vast pastur-
ages of Hungary, Russia, the Cana-
dian Dominion, the United States,
South America, South Africa and
Australia could feed all Europe with
ease. But the British taste will not
have half-fed meat. Look at the
Australian tinned-meat experiment.
The meat itself is excellent, the price
is not excessive, yet people simply
won't have it. It is over-cooked, and
pronounced uneatable.
A correspondent of the London
Agricultural Gazette is satisfied that
the recently adopted method of bring-
ing over American beef in the carcass
completely, solved the problem of
eased supplies of meat for the
English market. We quote the fol-
lowing extract:
The success of the system is estab-
lished, and the trade being consoli-
dated, we may anticipate receiving
Importations that will have a sensible
effect upon our meat supplies, and
consequent reduction in the present
exhorbitant high prices of all descrip-
tions of meat. The quality of the
meat of the grass-fed American bul-
locks Is described as equal to the
finest Aberdeen beef; and when its
ripe condition! from long suspension
in a dry atmosphere at a uniform
temperature of 88 0 becomes known,
we may anticipate a rivalry between
the purveyors of the clubs and the
hard working artisans, to the race to
obtain the American beef. The im-
portant question for the English
feeder to consider is, how is the ob-
trusive competitor to be met on the
retail butcher's stall? Alas! the
day is gone when tho British farmer
boasted of the htah quality of his
meat. The injndioious use of sub-
Stances rich in non-nitrogenous ele-
ments has injured the character, and
deteriorated the quality of his beef
and his mutton. A complaint arises
from every householder that meat at
the present time is too tat, that na-
ture's proportion of lean and tat is
disturbed greatly to the disadvantage
of the consumer. The production of
M enormously fat beef or sheep ta
no indication of the intellect or skill
of the exhibitor. Give to a well-bred

now Galveston declares quarantine
against New Orleans because its
health officer has heard through some
private channel that there exists much

Not only does the Galveston health
Officer declare quarantine for the city
of Galveston, but he and the author-
ities step beyond their power and de-
clare quarantine for Houston against
New Orleans by closing the ship chan-
nel against all vessels coining from
that city, (¡alveston, at the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature, risked for a
new charter and obtained it. How-
ever, tlw original bill as1 presented to
the Legislature was somewhat amen-
ded. The bill as introduced asked
that the limits of the city be extended
so as to embrace a portion of the
ship channel. Talcing into consider-
ation that vessels passing up to Hous-
ton via the ship channel pass three
miles to the eastward of Galveston,
this proposition was looked upon us
on enormity, and the bill passed with-
out this feature in it. It was charged
nel in the interest of Galveston trade,
and the present unhcard-ot' attempt
to Btop the passage of Morgan's
steamers from New Orleans to Hous-

cities. The authorities at Galveston
have as much right to stop a vessel
on the high seas as in the ship chan-
nel, and the people of Houston are
very foolish if they submit to the
power now exercised over it by a
neighboring city. Houston's direct
shipments will be stopped if this or-
der from Galveston be enforced, while
Galveston goes on with an uninter-
rupted trade through its railroad to
Houston and its lines of vessels to
New York and other ports. "The
health officer of Galveston takes ac-
tion upon private information and at
the same time the health officer of
Houston received tlie following tele-
gram:
new Orleans, Sept. 26, 1870.
To B. B. rutiieufoud, H. D.Five
cases of yellow fever now on hand. No
new cases In the last two days. Not a
ease near the shipping. All cases origi-
nated In and aroeonnnedto a restricted
locality up town. Total number of eases
this season twenty-six, of which sixteen
died. The feVer Is evidently on the de-
orease. f. b. Gaudkt, m. d.
President of Board of Health.
The quarantine at Galveston was de-
clared on the samé day the above tele-
gram was received. Everybody knows
that during every summer there are
sporadic cases of yellow fever in
New Orleans, and from the above au-
thoritative statement it appears that
the number this season is less than
usual. Hencesuspicion doubly attach-
es itself to the action of Galveston,
especially when it is taken into consid-
eration that action was taken without
the least consultation with Houston.
A very different case was presented
two weeks since, when,on suspicion of
yellow fever existing to Houston, the
health officer at Galveston was invi-
ted to the city and every facility giv-
en him to investigate the question.
It may be sald that the Statesman has
nothing to do with matter, but it
has. Everybody in Texas
deepest interest in these efforts
times to paralyze trade without suf-
ficient cause. Cheap freights are
needed, especially with low prices
now offered for all home production,
and the opening of the ship channel to
the transportation of cotton and oth-
er products is one way to obtain them.
When then there is real danger from
the approach of vessels, it is very cer-
tain that the authorities of Houston
would act, but we protest in the
name of the people Texas against this
interested flank demonstration of Gal-
veston against the rest of Texas.
